Life term for sex offender

A SEX offender who raped two young sisters and sexually abused a disabled boy has been given a life sentence.

The High Court in Glasgow heard that 44-year-old Allan McLeod, who carried out his abuse for almost 10 years, posed a high risk to the public.

Yesterday, judge Michael O'Grady, QC, imposed a lifelong restriction order on McLeod and sentenced him to at least four years in prison.
